| On June 2, 2025, the North Vancouver School District proudly hosted its annual Superintendent’s Celebration of Learning, an event dedicated to celebrating exceptional graduates from each of the school district’s secondary schools.
Students selected for this special recognition demonstrated excellence across academics, athletics, fine arts, and community service. Guests were welcomed with live music by the Argyle Secondary Jazz Band, and enjoyed a Greek buffet catered by local business The Banqueting Table. Professional photography services were generously provided by GradsBC, ensuring key moments were documented throughout the event.
The keynote address was delivered by Kaila Butler, a Canadian National Team hammer thrower, who shared her inspiring journey through the highs and lows of elite competition. Her message to graduates was powerful: embrace the journey, and see failure not as defeat, but as a valuable opportunity for growth.
In his closing remarks, Superintendent Dr. Pius Ryan encouraged students to recognize their potential to lead within their schools, communities, and beyond. He spoke about the responsibility that comes with leadership and the importance of choosing to make a positive impact on the world. Dr. Ryan reminded graduates that while they cannot control everything, they can control their own actions and decisions. By acting with purpose and integrity, even small choices can lead to meaningful and lasting change.
Congratulations to all who received this well-deserved recognition. We wish you continued success in your future endeavors.
